once again, the lovely monique germon of story introduces me to something special. she sent along this link to one of Australia’s best interior stylists, Glen proebstel. i love the way he pulls these images together – vintage inspired, but with a fresh, modern feel. for more of glen proebstel’s beautiful work visit his website and drop in on his blog.

These rooms are absolutely fantastic. I want to find a way to squeeze them all into my house! I’d love your advice. I am redoing my floors next month (with laminate) and am torn between dark and light wood. Do you have any suggestions? I LOVE dark but am not sure it’ll work with the oak countertops we are putting in the kitchen!

kacie – the one thing i know about dark floors is that they really show the dirt, and need vacuuming/sweeping constantly. but my mom just put them in and they are beautiful. she painted all her cabinets white and it’s a stunning contrast.

Ugh I’m so torn. I just spent the weekend at a friends house and they said the same thing, they have 2 dogs and 2 kids. I have one cat and one baby but can barely find the time to vacuum. Don’t want to spend my life sweeping but I love their dark elegance! I suppose the more practical light wood will probably win out… Thank you for your input.

I’m with Victoria on this one! Not sure if it’s distressed or a tapestry!
I did take some faux-finish classes – would love to try that – perhaps on a small wall !

Gorgeous – love the vintage look – enjoy little splashes of it here and there.
I have some old shoehorns, my baby shoes (not brass), and old violin a great uncle carved and a platter my parents won for ‘best waltxz’ back in the 50’s :)

Love to look at them and enjoy having them in my home!
Lovely collection
